We're back!

We're thrilled to announce the return of Stephenson County's exclusive, eagerly anticipated half-marathon event, the Run Stephenson County Half Marathon formerly known as the Pint to Pint, on October 19, 2024, at 8:00 AM. As a proud component of our Annual Support Campaign, the proceeds we gather annually play a vital role in enabling children, families, seniors, neighbors, and others to access YMCA programs and memberships at discounted rates.

We heard your feedback and have implemented some exciting new changes.  

In 2024, get ready for an ALL-NEW COURSE! The half marathon will start and end at the Jane Addams Trailhead in Orangeville, IL. This loop course features a flat and fast start and finish, with rolling hills in the middle miles. It promises to be a thrilling challenge for all participants.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! We're excited to announce the addition of two NEW race distances: a flat and fast 5k and 10k! These courses are designed to be PR-worthy, offering runners the opportunity to achieve their personal best in a scenic and supportive environment.

2024 will feature chip timing for all run distances.

Not up for running? Join the bicycle fun ride! Coming Soon... Bicycle course!

All runners and cyclists at every distance will receive a high-quality tech shirt. All half-marathon finishers will receive a finisher medal, and the top finishers will receive trophies. The 5k and 10k events will provide overall and age group awards.   

Mark your calendars for an unforgettable experience combining Stephenson County's picturesque countryside with captivating tourist attractions. 

This event serves as a significant fundraiser for the YMCA, enabling us to continue our mission of community support. We look forward to seeing you on October 19!
